Limerick a top seed ahead of Tuesday’s Tailteann Cup draw

Limerick’s relegation to Division 3 and failure to make the Munster final has them in the Tailteann Cup where they are a top seed.

Limerick will learn their Tailteann Cup opponents this afternoon with the draw to be made at 1pm on Tuesday and will be broadcast live on GAA.ie (GAANOW) and available on the @OfficialGAA and @GAAGO social media channels.
